Tuni G1 Conical Burr Coffee Grinder, 48 Grind Settings Anti-static Burr Mill, Precision Electronic Timer and LED Touchscreen for Espresso/Drip/Cold Brew/French Press, Stainless Steel, Ivory

We owned a Calphalon espresso machine with the grinder built in. It worked great for about two years before the pump went out. We continued to use the grinder and a Moka pot for probably 8 months before deciding we wanted another espresso machine. I wanted the grinder separate so that if one part went bad it'd be easier and cheaper to replace. I decided to take a chance on Tuni because of a sale. We bought the Grinder G1 and Espresso Machine E2. The grinder seems a little cheaper grade than the one built in the Calphalon, but the espresso machine seems higher quality. Especially the attachments. The first cup, after tuning, was glorious!Time will tell how long this lasts. Probably the pump will give out long before the grinder and replacing it will be cheaper than replacing the whole unit.Our Calphalon is now a toy in the kids room. They like to pretend making their own coffee. So it wasn't a total loss! :)I've seen someone say that the pressure gauge doesn't work. It won't hardly move unless the grind is right and you've compacted it enough. I'm currently using a grind of 13 on the G1 and I compact it much more than I did with the Calphalon. It helps having a pressure gauge, which the previous machine didn't.For this machine specifically (G1), I wish there was an off switch. I bought an outlet surge protector with an on/off switch that's low profile to remedy this.There are not a lot of reviews on this unit/brand, but it was a good purchase for us. Maybe this review will help someone else decide.*EDIT: The more I use it, the more I really like it. I changed my rating from 4 to 5 stars.

Beautifuly designed. Delivers a great uniform grind. Looks good at my home coffee station next to the Gaggia. Easy to set up and get using it. Anti static coatings keep the grind where it should be and not all over the machine.Two negatives; is there is no power switch. It goes into sleep mode but thats still vampiring electric. You could plug/unplug it but that gets seriously annoying. And the 'Cups Americano' grind timer either makes no sense or I've been seriously overfiling my portafilter. It takes a setting of '4 cups' to fill my portafilter properly for my standard double shot. Thankfully after a couple trial grinds its simple to adjust your size or time to get what you need from it. Stay on top of burr cleaning as a a bit of buildup seriously deminishes the output.

After three months of using a manual grinder (the MHW-3BOMBER R3) for espresso, I decided it was time to switch to an electric one. Grinding medium-roast beans had become a workout, and I wanted a more convenient option. That’s when I picked up the Tuni G1 coffee grinder.This grinder offers several features typically found in more expensive models, such as the ability to grind by cups or time. I personally use the time-based grinding function for better precision. Retention is very low, around 0.1 to 0.2 grams, so when I want to pull a shot on my Delonghi Stilosa, I weigh out 16.2 grams and get consistent results. You can also give the grinder a few light taps to reduce retention even further.One of the standout features of the Tuni G1 is its wide range of grind adjustments. It provides enough precision for most espresso needs. However, if you're planning to grind light-roast coffee, the factory settings won’t get you fine enough. To fix this, you’ll need to add a shim under the lower burr, a mod that’s common among grinders like the Baratza Encore (which even sells official shims). With the Tuni G1, you'll need to DIY it using a 0.25 mm thick material. I made mine using a plastic "No Smoking" sign I bought at a store. I marked the bottom of the lower burr with a marker, transferred the pattern onto paper to trace the holes, and cut the shim accordingly. With this simple mod, I gained 8 more clicks of fineness, making it perfect for light roasts.In terms of taste and espresso quality, I’d say the MHW-3BOMBER still has a slight edge, but considering they both cost around $100, the Tuni G1 gives you a lot more convenience and functionality for the same price. If you stick to medium or dark roasts, the default 12 espresso clicks are more than enough, no shim needed.I use this grinder as a single-dose grinder, and it works great. I store my beans in an airtight container to keep them fresh. I also contacted Tuni, and they mentioned they're working on a bellows to help reduce retention even further. I suggested they also consider offering a shim for users who want to grind finer.Overall, this grinder is a fantastic value. You get an espresso-capable electric grinder for the price of a manual one. Sure, it doesn’t have 150 clicks like the R3 Bomber, but you also won’t need to build arm strength every morning just to enjoy a great espresso or latte.
